Waterways & Nature

Stop. Close your eyes and breathe. You are surrounded by rolling countryside, gently flowing waterways and masses of wildlife. This is a place to relax.

Hire a cruiser and chug along the Cambridgeshire waterways as captain of your own command or sit back and watch the scenery float merrily by on a river trip. If you really want to make a break of it, try a holiday in a narrow boat. Feel the gentle bobbing of the waves and hear the melodic lapping of water against the stern as you drift off to sleep.

The Cambridgeshire waterways make an easy way to get around. Pass peaceful villages with pretty thatched cottages and tiny churches. Moor up to enjoy a pleasant pub lunch or walk along the riverside. Try fishing, walking or cycling and simply enjoy the great outdoors, the expansive skies and impressive sunsets.

Alternatively, visit one of the Cambridgshire nature reserves, perhaps Britain’s oldest nature reserve – Wicken Fen. Explore the home it offers wild ponies, otters and rare plants and insects. Just relax and enjoy nature in Cambridgeshire.
